Instead of going into deep connect-the-dots mode, let’s just stay with what’s topical: Saturn in Virgo vs. Uranus in Pisces. The key thread in the previous posts has been the Uranus/Pisces, 23 degrees, in September of 1339 when “The Black Plague” officially killed it’s first victims;

“The first named victims of the plague died in 1338 and 1339 in the area around Lake Issyk Kul (Lake Baikal) in Russia, where a grave marker says, “In the year of the hare (1339). This is the grave of Kutluk. He died of the plague with his wife, Magnu-Kelka.”Facts About The Black Death

Of course, the allusion to “Swine Flu” is an easy and timely tap. But how about this for timeline/aspect continuity?

American scientist studying the origins of the Black Death has died from an infection related to the plague he studied.

Chicago health officials said there was no sign of any spread after the death of Malcolm Casadaban, a genetics researcher at the University of Chicago.

But as a precaution, antibiotics have been offered to co-workers, friends and family of the scientist.

The 60-year-old died on Sept. 13 after being exposed to a weakened form of the bacteria that causes the plague. The strain, which has been used as a vaccine in some countries to protect against bubonic plague, is approved by the US government for lab studies.

Casadaban’s lab has been sealed off while authorities investigate.

Officials have said it is unlikely that anyone else would be infected, and a Chicago Department of Public Health spokesman said on Monday the window for that happening is almost over.

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is also investigating.

The Black Death, one of the deadliest pandemics in history, swept across Europe between 1348 and 1350. The plague, believed to be caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, killed as much as 60 per cent of Europe’s population.Guardian U.K.

So what’s going on here? Are we witnessing the re-cycling of history through a conscious application of cosmic cycles? Are the cosmic cycles determining the re-cycling of history? Is this just some perverse synchronicity? Perhaps the answer lies in it’s opposition, Saturn in Virgo?

It would be interesting to know where Jupiter was at the time of the Plagues, ruling Pisces, how that configured in. Was it in detriment, rulership, otherwise afflicted? So as I look on Solar Fire now it was in sidereal Leo or tropical Virgo, definitely debilitated.
